A pair of much-loved ospreys returned to their Perthshire nest within hours of each other on Friday leaving wildlife reserve rangers both shocked and delighted.
For the first time ever, both the female osprey (NC0) and her mate (LM12) arrived back at the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Loch of the Lowes Dunkeld site on the same day.
Female NC0 arrived first on the nest at 7.43am on Friday, March 17 and proceeded to give it a spruce-up straight away.
